B-Man Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 WITH ALACRITY: How Trump Turned Around Obama’s Anemic Economy. GDP growth is an abstraction. What people actually feel are jobs and “job security”—are they afraid of losing their job in the near future? And here, it could be argued, Republicans have an even better argument. Not only is unemployment down to 4 percent, but most Americans believe the U.S. economy is improving. In fact, the job market is so hot that, for the first time ever recorded, there are more job openings than unemployed workers to take them. That feeling is buoyed by stories about employers dropping requirements for college degrees. According to at least one analysis, the share of job postings requiring a college degree is falling as employers struggle to find workers to fill open jobs. Some businesses are even hiring job seekers who fail the drug test, making drug treatment part of the employee package. That’s a job market that’s growing, not shrinking. As President Trump tweeted, “Private business investment has surged from 1.8 percent the year BEFORE I came into office to 9.4 percent this year — that means JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!” I had been assured by some very smart people, around 2009 or so, that business climate is a myth. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we've moved on from that to "It's all going to be nullified by tariffs." Really, you'd think someone on the Hill would have the great good sense to say "Obama spent eight years stabilizing the economy and giving employers the breathing room necessary to strengthen their financial positions. It's because of his efforts that employers have the financial strength and stability to afford to hire new help and pay increased salaries." It would still be bull ****...but it would be significantly more ambiguous bull **** that more people would believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The latest Employment Situation Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows new manufacturing jobs being added at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.6 percent in July, a yearly employment growth figure not seen in the sector since 1984 — and the biggest monthly gains since 1994. “After creating an average of 17,000 jobs per month in 2017, over the first seven months of 2018, manufacturers have added an average of 28,000 jobs per month. These 2018 employment gains are on track to be the highest average monthly increase since 1994,” according to a White House statement based on data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
